    Well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS) is a low-grade malignant neoplasm with a tendency for local recurrence.

  • 2

    Primary WDLPS in the hypopharynx is rare, especially in young adults, and can mimic benign lesions.

  • 3

    A 24-year-old man presented with a submucosal mass in the hypopharynx, confirmed as WDLPS through histopathology and MDM2 amplification.

  • 4

    Despite an uneventful postoperative course, the patient experienced early local recurrence within four months of surgery.

  • 5

    Accurate diagnosis of WDLPS requires histopathological examination, immunohistochemistry, and molecular confirmation.
